Pop singer Ed Sheeran is rumored to star in a new musical comedy movie set in a world where The Beatles never existed. The movie is tentatively titled All You Need is Love and will be directed by Danny Boyle, the lauded film director of Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting and 28 Days Later.

According to the UK Daily Mail, the project’s plot “is described as being “about a man who wakes up one day to find he is the only person who can remember the songs of The Beatles”.

The report also says that Sheeran, who is known to be a huge Beatles fan, will provide the original music to the soundtrack. “Everything Ed touches turns to gold,” a source told the paper. “If anyone can make a film about the Beatles’ songs even better musically, it’s him.”
